===Campaign and Spartan Ops===

*The Mantis is only available in two ''[[Halo 4]]'' campaign levels, [[Infinity (Halo 4 level)|Infinity]] and [[Composer (level)|Composer]]. Both levels involve waves of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant]] infantry and as such multiple Mantises are available in case the player's original Mantis should be heavily damaged or destroyed. The player should always be ~~weary~~ of enemies wielding [[Type-33 fuel rod gun]]s and overcharging their [[Type-25 plasma pistol]]s.

**In Infinity the player should use the Mantis' missiles to destroy the multiple [[Type-44 Phantom]]s and [[Z-510 focus turret]]s. The Mantis' machine guns and stomp ability are more than capable of dealing with the Covenant and [[Promethean]] infantry even on [[Legendary]]. The player should also be weary of the occasional [[Type-26 Banshee]]. A combination of the Mantis' machine guns and missiles will make quick work of all aircraft.

**In Composer the player should once again use the Mantis' missiles to destroy the incoming Phantoms. However, unlike Infinity, the Phantoms will drop both [[Type-26 Wraith]]s and [[Type-32 Ghost]]s. The player should always keep a distance between their Mantis and enemy Wraiths as a boosting Wraith is capable of destroying a Mantis regardless of difficulty. Also, unlike Infinity, there are many more Banshees present in this level and are a threat when they are sent in waves. It's best for the player to find cover where they can hide until their shields are up before they engage another Banshee squadron.

Line 8:

**In Backup the Mantis should only worry about enemies wielding fuel rod guns and [[Z-390 incineration cannon]]s. All enemies can easily be killed using the Mantis' main weapons.

**In Out the Other the Mantis should take out the hordes of [[Promethean Watcher]]s first before moving onto the [[Promethean Knight|Knights]].

===Multiplayer===

*In multiplayer the player should always have a designated vehicle-based [[loadout]]. For their [[Tactical packages|tactical package]] they should always use Wheelman. A disabled Mantis takes the longest to recover out all the vehicles in ''Halo 4'' making Wheelman an absolute must. For their [[Support upgrades|support upgrade]] they should use either Gunner, so the Mantis' machine guns can fire longer before overheating, or Survivor, so that they may survive the Mantis' destruction.
